The One Championship Home officially confirmed that Rodtang Jitmuangnon will not be able to play at One 165. Initially, One Championship wanted to put the pair between Rodtang and Takeru Segawa to compete for the Kickboxing category.
At the present time, both Rodtang and Takeru Segawa are the most popular boxers of One Championship. Rodtang is the defending champion of Muay, and he does not hide his intention to acquire more belts in the Kickboxing category. Meanwhile, Takeru Segawa is the K-1 champion and just signed a contract with One.
Rodtang's injury caused One Championship to find a new opponent to face Takeru Segawa. The chosen person is Superlek Kiatmoo9. The “stone machine” was also the one who made RotDang receive the first defeat at One Championship, when he lowered the “iron” in the last time they encountered.
The match between Superlek Kiatmoo9 and Takeru Segawa will take place on January 28 at the Ariake Stadium of Tokyo, Japan. After many other locations in Asia, One Championship decided to expand the market. They signed a contract with Takeru Segawa as a way to realize the ambition to expand.
On the side of Superlek, he was originally scheduled to play with Elias Mahmoudi at One Fight Night 18, the event on January 12. However, this match must be canceled by Elias Mahmoudi. That also means, Superlek is in the best body before the match against Takeru Segawa.
